If you are in a hurry and want to look good, all you need is a little bit of definition to the key sections of your face, according to Virginia Holmes, co-founder of professional make-up academy, Fat Mu. Holmes along with her partner Natasha Nischol runs the city-based academy where they offer courses for professionals as well as amateurs.

While most Mumbaikars are strapped for time, Holmes suggests a quick-fix solution for a chic look, “Most Indian women have long hair. Hence, a classic sleek ponytail works the best. But to make it look a bit different, experiment with the parting; a slicked side parting works well with a pony tail. Also, different kinds of braids, especially loose braids kept on the side, go well for a casual look. But don’t make it too tight or it ends up looking very strict.”
